Me and my mate Eddie, take advantage of one of his Dads many cottages in the High Peak area of the UK. It's just south of Manchester in a place called New Mills. It's a time to get away from the wife and drink ourselves silly and eat crap. Anyway he wanted a copy of some photo's we took sometime back so I compiled this for him.

On a more serious note the cottage we used to go to was at the top of a hill in the town and this was the view that greeted you as you walked out the door. Pretty much wasted on us though!

Man oh man am I glad I only get views like the 2nd pic when I go traipsing around Derbyshire! Just give me a list of dates you're gonna be there so I know to go to Wales instead ;-)

Life's to short not to enjoy yourselves, always nice to have somewhere to do it too! Lovely place too...... Marc (I wonder if they'll lease it out for my holiday)

Smile, your dead a long time :)

@Bryster - most annoying are the speed cops out to get us Englishfolk LOL! Actually, its been a few months since we last crossed over the border and I'm really missing the place.

maybe someday you guys could explain 'trainspotting' to me..sounds like one of those wierd habits men develop when the libido decreases and they have to fill in the time formerly feeling h*rney..;)

again I must have miss placed my invitation... At which I will mention I invented most of those games... oh and the internet and pants...

Train Spotting......the act of standing on railroad platforms in all weathers and recording the identity numbers on the front of the locomotives. Passed on from father to son, this 'hobby' has dire consquences for the future social life of the young 'Anorak'; ie: he doesn't get to have one...ever. In recent years a more disturbing 'hobby' has insinuated itself into British culture. That is, recording the numbers on the tractor units of 'big wheelers' own by Eddie Stobbard. This requires driving up and down freeways and yelling at your driver to get closer to the 40tonne monster doing 70mph so that you can see the number on the side of the cab. Hope this helps.

Pakled: It's more like, "Gosh! That's locomotive 4593. A 4-6-4 (relates to wheel configuration) pulling the 9.47 from Kings Cross." NB, the picadilly line is a subway line.
